Impressionism: Revolutionizing Art Through Chiaroscuro
Abstract: Impressionism, an influential art style that thrived from the 19th to the early 20th century, originated in Paris in the 1860s, with Claude Monet recognized as its pioneer. This movement arose as a reaction against the advent of photography, advocating for a novel representation of light and momentary impressions. Key contributors included Camille Pissarro, Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who collectively rejected the constraints of traditional public expectations …

Image Compression via Non-separable Discrete Fractional Fourier Transform
Abstract: The main idea behind image compression is to reduce the bandwidth for transmission and required space for storage. Thus, image compression is of great importance. In this paper we present the image compression technique using Non-Separable Discrete Fractional Fourier Transform (NSDFrFT). Numerical simulation results suggested that image compression method using NSDFrFT as transform technique gives better performance for images when compression ratio is high in comparison to DFrFT and JPEG. …

Voltage Gain Improved Method using Soft Switching Technique in a Forward-Flyback Converter
Abstract: In this paper, a high step-up topology employing a ZVS soft-switching technique in forward-flyback DC-DC converter to improve the voltage-gain is presented. The ZVS soft-switching technique implemented in a DC-DC converter suppresses the voltage spikes, which reduces the switching voltage stress and improves the voltage gain of the converter. A 60 W SFFB DC/DC converter test system is implemented in MATLAB/SIMULINK to verify the results. The comparison is also made …
